Subject: Possible memory leak in 3.14.5+ (hacked).
Date: Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:42:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <538E1728.8000804@candelatech.com> (raw)

Our wireless stress tests are running OOM (on 8GB RAM system)
after a few days.  I turned on kmemleak, and see this, among
others..

Kernel is hacked 3.14.5+ kernel, but we don't have many changes
in the ipv6 code, at least.

Anyone seen similar?
